A few weeks ago I was visiting my parents and they were needing help with there garden and what not so I find myself inside cutting up these hot ass red peppers with NO gloves on and taking the seeds out with my finger tips, then chopping into slices to put into the dehydrator for further storage once dried, after cutting up/cleaning about 50+golf ball size peppers and puting them into the dehydrator I washed my hands to get the little pieces of pepper and the burn off my hand, well 30 minutes passes and my haands are on FUCKING FIRE worse than the time I grabbed the top of a hot fucking lantern while we were camping and burnt the shit out of my fingers, this was the worst fucking burn worse than like fire on skin
Nothing would help it except keeping my hands in cold water so I put my hands in cold water with ice for the next 8 hours until the pain stopped
True story
Dude, I did something similar, but I didn't wash my hand I just kind of wiped them off. Well Right after I was really horny and jacked off. The pain was fucking unbearable
Treatment after exposure[edit] The primary treatment is removal from exposure. Contaminated clothing should be removed and placed in airtight bags to prevent secondary exposure.
For external exposure, bathing the mucous membrane surfaces that have contacted capsaicin with oily compounds such as vegetable oil, paraffin oil, petroleum jelly (Vaseline), creams, or polyethylene glycol is the most effective way to attenuate the associated discomfort;[citation needed] since oil and capsaicin are both hydrophobic hydrocarbons the capsaicin which has not already been absorbed into tissues will be picked up into solution and easily removed. Capsaicin can also be washed off the skin using soap, shampoo, or other detergents. Plain water is ineffective at removing capsaicin,[49] as are bleach, sodium metabisulfite and topical antacid suspensions.[citation needed] Capsaicin is soluble in alcohol, which can be used to clean contaminated items.[49]
Additionally when ingested, cold milk is an effective way to treat the burning sensation (due to caseins having a detergent effect on capsaicin[53]); and room temperature sugar solution (10%) at 20 °C (68 °F) is almost as effective.[54] The cooling sensation may however only have a temporary effect, while drinking any beverage will enhance the burning sensation[citation needed] by spreading the Capsaicin throughout the mouth and maximizing receptors' exposure to it, making bread or white rice a better alternative. The burning sensation will slowly fade away over several hours if no actions are taken.
Burning and pain symptoms can also be relieved by cooling, such as from ice, cold water, cold bottles, cold surfaces, or a flow of air from wind or a fan.[citation needed] In severe cases, eye burn might be treated symptomatically with topical ophthalmic anesthetics; mucous membrane burn with lidocaine gel. The gel from the aloe plant has also been shown to be very effective.[citation needed] Capsaicin-induced asthma might be treated with nebulized bronchodilators[citation needed] or oral antihistamines or corticosteroids.[51]
